This month, our team had the opportunity to participate in several events. Dr. Elizabeth Johnson Million attended the AVMA Business and Economic Forum virtually on October 8-9, where she learned about the latest trends and challenges in the veterinary economy. Janine Hawley and Baylor Harton represented the ICVA at the Conference on Test Security (COTS), which was held from October 16-18 in Salt Lake City, UT with both in-person and virtual options. They explored advancements in test security, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the integrity of assessments in our field. We look forward to applying the knowledge gained from these valuable experiences! #Conference #VeterinaryAssessment #ICVA #VeterinaryMedicine #Veterinarian #VetMed #AnimalHealth
